Overwatch’s 27th Hero Brigitte is Now Live on All Platforms

It’s a new day for fans of Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch as Brigitte joins the roster across all platforms. As a tank/support hybrid, Brigitte is the youngest daughter of Torbjorn and squire to Reinhardt who’s decided to join the fray to help her allies.

Brigitte has quite the move set overall. Her Rocket Flail is a melee weapon that can be swung much like Reinhardt’s hammer and will restore health to Brigitte and nearby allies with each hit. Whip Shot lets her hit distant targets with the flail and knock them away. Brigitte is also armed with her own Barrier Shield which can be used to Shield Bash opponents.

As for the support role, she can dole out Repair Packs (aka armour) to friendlies and use Rally to distribute armour to all around her. Rally also provides Brigitte with a speed boost. If you’re curious to see her moves in action, check out the launch video below.
